this study investigated effective parameters in the leadership and management among commanders of the army ground force, hierarchy of each criterion and ultimately proposal of a desirable leadership and management model from the respective commanders and senior managers’ perspectives. characterized as an applied and field study, the research employed the participation of the 100 commanders and ...

The Commanding Officer (CO) on a submarine makes numerous subtle perceptual judgments, assessments of complex situations, and decisions under conditions of time pressure, high stakes, shifting goals, dynamic conditions, and uncertainty. The objective of our project was to deeply understand and clarify the nature of the decisions made by a CO so that we could develop recommendations for a potent...

We present a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy, intuitive control of a group of mobile robots moving in formation, and we give a short description of the general, local, distributed formation algorithm underlying the GUI. In spite of the high level of abstraction of the GUI, it captures the full functionality of the algorithm. The GUI has been tested with robots running in a simulator, an...

Any sensory system can be viewed as a passive or dumb element which provides raw data It can also be viewed as an intelligent element which returns analyzed infor mation Finally it can be viewed as a commanding element which sends commands to the physical system Each of these views is used in di erent situations and for di erent tasks Commanding sensors are an extension to the logical sensor ap...

Giving advice to a mobile robot assistant still requires classical user interfaces. A more intuitive way of commanding is achieved by verbal or gesture commands. In this article, we present new approaches and enhancements for established methods that are in use in our laboratory. Our aim is to interact with a robot using natural and direct communication techniques fusioning these communication ...

Major innovations are based on novel input devices, for example, the mouse and its role in revolutionizing the PC world. Some innovations are even over-looked, such as the touch screen, until it made quite a trendy return in the shape of the Apple iPhone. All such specialized devices will dwarf into remote handling applications in the cloud by a generalized device, that is, the camera phone. Th...
